Hi Tony,

Until very recently LightWave didn't support it, I think it is only supported in the newest LightWave release, I think version 9.5 ?

Unfortunately when they added support, it appears that they did not do it in a way that was compatible with Modo.

I can kind of understand how that happened because Modo implemented it in a somewhat strange way before that, where they expected the vertex normals to be in right-handed coordinates, while all the other coordinates in an .lwo file are in left-handed coordinates.

Anyway because of this kind of messed-up situation where each of them is expecting different kinds of coordinates for this same vertex normal data I have put in this switch in MoI.

The Modo way, same as the new default.

So if you're using Modo you shouldn't need to mess with it.
